? Strings {A Camp Cretaceous x Male Reader Story - Ben}

Chaos ensues as they all try capturing it but end up falling instead. Once they've all regained their balance the little thing had disappeared.

"Okay, where'd it go?" Sammy mumbles as they all search around for the cheeky dino.

They circle around the back and Darius carefully opens the cabin door.

"Yaz, you stay and guard the food," He whispers, "Y/N and Ben, you search the cabins, I'll take Sammy to search the rest of the boat."

Yaz, Sammy, and Darius split off to do what they're assigned, leaving Y/N and Ben at the entrance to the cabin.

They slowly step inside.

"Okay, keep this door shut." Y/N closes the entrance.

"Let's head to the bunk first."

Ben nods and shoots him a thumbs up.

Just as they're about to take their positions, the boat shakes violently, causing them to knock against the walls in the tight hallway.

"What was that?" Ben tries to keep his voice down still.

"Uh, a big wave?" Y/N shrugs.

Ben rolls his eyes and heads into the bunk, Y/N right behind him.

They search around the room and under the bed. Y/N catches a glimpse of... interesting paintings of Mitch and Tiff hung on the wall.

"Is it bad that I don't mind them being dead?" He mumbles under his breath.

"What?" Ben perks up.

"Nothing, the Compy isn't in here, let's go." Y/N heads for the door.

"Wait--" Ben slides in front of him.

"Huh?" Y/N pulls away from the door handle.

"I just-- just wanted to say thank you. For letting me come to my senses about staying on Nublar." Ben smiles.

"Didn't we already talk about this?" Y/N smirks.

"Yeah, but I wanted to thank you. I know how much you didn't want me to stay." Ben sighs, "I'm sorry I didn't listen."

"Hey, it's okay. You're here now." Y/N hesitates before opening his arms for a hug.

The two of them hug, albeit rather awkwardly, not really knowing when to pull away.

The two of them chuckle but their moment is soon interrupted when Darius and Sammy dash down the hall, "Compy's headed for the deck!"

The four of them make it to the top but the Compy is nowhere to be seen.

"It's here somewhere," Darius scowers around, "Anyone see it?"

Y/N turns to Yaz, whose been up there the entire time.

"I figured I'd pack everything up before it could get to it." She shrugs.

"We'll find it." Darius swestraightens up, "Fan out!"

The five of them spread out across the boat in search of the slippery little demon.

They end up circling back around and surrounding the dino as it chews on a rope. But they knew from experience that wasn't enough to catch him.

Darius slowly picks up Ben's bucket from earlier, "Ben, distract it." He whispers.

Ben pulls some berries out of his fanny pack and tosses them to the Compy. Its easily pleased and immediately starts nibbling on them.

Just as Darius is about to trap it, the boat shakes again. Even harder than the first time. The campers are all thrown to the ground as the ship continues to rumble and the Compy runs away.
